A Weapon by any Other Name

by FELTON PHILLIPS   Apr 17, 2007


Weapons of mass destruction are illegal
I remind you
Weapons of mass destruction are deadly
They should scare you
Weapons of mass destruction must be banned
I implore you
Weapons of mass destruction have no purpose
But to kill you
A small weapon of destruction may aptly describe a gun
But take a good look at it and all that it has done
How can it not be defined as a WMD
It's only purpose is to kill you and me
A person with a gun can kill a lot of people
A person with a gun can do a lot of evil

The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing people he is not real
I think
The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing people guns do not kill

Columbine,now Virginia Tech
The question I am asking, Who is next?

(Written because of what happened at Virginia Tech.)
